Description
Dracula was real. Discover the true story of Vlad the Impaler, the Wallachian prince behind Bram Stoker's vampire legend. History, folklore, myth, and the horror behind it.
Long before Bram Stoker turned Dracula into a monster of fiction, there was Vlad III, the brutal ruler of Wallachia who helped inspire one of the world's most famous legends. This documentary uncovers the real history behind Dracula, from Ottoman wars and the forest of the impaled to Transylvanian folklore, strigoi, vampire superstitions, and the medical mysteries that shaped the myth.
We also explore how Dracula evolved into a global cultural icon through literature, film, tourism, and Romanian identity, blurring the line between history and horror.
